For the first time in its 20-year history, Spirit of Christmas Fair will be online only. Britain’s leading and largest shopping event will open its virtual doors to visitors for six weeks of Christmas shopping, as the Fair adheres to current Covid-19 guidelines and is unable to take place at Olympia, London as planned.

Opening to shoppers from Monday 9th November and running up until Christmas, the home of Christmas shopping is designed to meet all your festive shopping needs, all in one place. Visitors will not only be able to shop from the comfort of their own home but can also explore an expertly curated collection of more than 150 small, independent boutiques and design-makers all in one place.

As always, Spirit of Christmas offers an exceptional line-up of talented individuals and businesses to peruse. From the best of British offering high-quality craftsmanship and beautifully designed products, artisan food and drink producers, to high-end sustainable brands enabling you to shop with the planet in mind, the Shop has something for everyone.

From gifts and treats to entertaining ideas, the selected fashion, decorations, homeware, jewellery and food and drinks brands have all been hand-picked for their quality and originality. Those who visit the online Spirit of Christmas Shop will find gifts that are not available on the high street and sure to impress, discovering unexpected gifts for him, extraordinary treats for her and wonderful treasures for little ones.

Catherine Thake, Show Director of Spirit of Christmas Fair says “Spirit of Christmas Fair has always signalled the start of the festive season; with this Christmas being even more important for families as so many have been forced apart from their loved ones for such a long period of time. The launch of The Spirit of Christmas Shop will continue to enable customers to purchase beautiful and original gifts from our hand-picked collection of Spirit brands for their loved ones and spread some much-needed festive cheer this year. Although we are unable to welcome them through the doors at Olympia, London this year, we very much welcome them with open arms to our online shop.

“Spirit of Christmas is a favourite destination for shoppers looking to get ahead early with their Christmas shopping and discover unique gifts and inspiration. We are huge supporters of small businesses which means so many of the boutique brands we present are exclusively available at Spirit and this year you will also get a warm feeling that you are helping independent, smaller businesses survive the pandemic.”

•   More than 150 independent boutiques to shop with over 3000 products available
